Chapter 53

The room was heated; the world of cultivation was, after all, not like the ancient times of Lin Yi's past life, where one needed to build a fire to stay warm during the bitter winter.

Pei Yuhan effortlessly broke free from the Spiritual Qi restraints on her body and embraced him. Yu Xiaotang's pupils constricted; she never expected that at a time like this, her wicked Master would hold her!

Lin Yi looked at the hint of a smile at the corners of Pei Yuhan's eyes, leaned in, and kissed his beautiful Master.

Pei Yuhan embraced her beloved Lin Yi with Yu Xiaotang between them. As for Yu Xiaotang… she looked up at Pei Yuhan with a bitter expression, "Master… spare me…"

Yu Xiaotang still remembered her provocation toward Pei Yuhan just moments ago, and so, what about Pei Yuhan…

Pei Yuhan shook her head amidst Yu Xiaotang's "desperate" gaze. Her vermilion lips parted slightly, "No, Xiao Tang, this is a reward…"

Su Lingshu shrank back. She looked at Pei Yuhan's somewhat terrifying actions with lingering fear. Pursing her lips, she was already contemplating how she could escape.

Li Tiaodeng pouted slightly. Dissatisfied, she rubbed her little face against Lin Yi's neck from behind. Lin Yi ignored her; Yu Xiaotang was a noob, even at the Foundation Establishment Stage, she was still a noob.

As a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, he could pin down and fight three Soul Transformation Stage great Cultivators: Pei Yuhan, Lu Jiajing, and Pei Zhaoji. Two of them were even at the Late Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage. Dealing with a mere Foundation Establishment Stage now was naturally a piece of cake.

Especially with Pei Yuhan's "help"… and so, Yu Xiaotang was immediately defeated.

Pei Yuhan looked at Lin Yi with a smile on her lips, "Lin Yi, you say… you want to punish your Master?"

Lin Yi felt inexplicably terrified and immediately shook his head, but… the smile on Pei Yuhan's lips grew deeper.

Lu Jiajing also happened to embrace Lin Yi from the side. She exchanged a glance with Pei Yuhan, and the two Soul Transformation Fairies began to deal with this Golden Core youth, Lin Yi.

As for Li Tiaodeng… she was forced to retreat from the siege of Lu Jiajing and Pei Yuhan.

Lu Jiajing hummed softly, "Little Lin Yi, do you remember what that Fairy Xueji called you… Little Lin Yi… how intimate…"

Lu Jiajing was not a petty person, but she was not a magnanimous one either. She did not care about some things, but some things… she could remember for a lifetime.

Lin Yi took a step back, but Pei Yuhan pressed forward. A pair of jade arms wrapped around Lin Yi's waist, and the Fairy's elegant fragrance lingered at the tip of Lin Yi's nose.

Pei Yuhan's gaze slid across Lin Yi's brows, then she lowered her head to seize his lips… Lin Yi just wanted to break free, but immediately discovered that his hands were being held by Lu Jiajing.

Lu Jiajing tilted her head slightly, her warm breath hitting Lin Yi's neck. She lowered her head, and her lips pressed down…

Xuanyuan Xier remained calm and composed; things reaching this point was already within her expectations. Perhaps there was even an unspoken understanding among everyone involved.

Some emotions required the most intense and primal things to be ignited and resolved.

Especially in this Inner World.

Lin Yi reached out to wrap his arms around Lu Jiajing's slender waist. Lu Jiajing's delicate body stiffened slightly. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Li Tiaodeng on the side, then turned her head back to look at the patterns on the palace lantern. She was feeling a bit dizzy…

Pei Yuhan bit Lin Yi's lip in slight dissatisfaction, but immediately afterward, she began to soothe the slight pain with her tenderness, feeling heartache.

Pei Yuhan realized she had changed a lot. In the past, she would absolutely never have accepted such a thing, but now… she was even actively finding women for Lin Yi…

Hmph, Lingshu was right, Lin Yi, you rascal, you really are a little thief!

Pei Yuhan's grip on Lin Yi's arms tightened. Feeling Lin Yi's breath, she felt her heart flutter, and it was only when she was slightly leaning on the armrest of the wooden chair…

Pei Yuhan looked up slightly at the intricate patterns printed on the ceiling. She frowned slightly; those patterns seemed to have come to life, but upon closer inspection, they were still just sitting there quietly.

Pei Yuhan's grip on Lin Yi's arms tightened even more…

Su Lingshu felt a sense of panic like being on death row—the feeling of seeing the guillotine getting closer and closer, yet never quite reaching her head.

She watched Lu Jiajing and Pei Yuhan's dark cyan and ink-black hair splayed out; Lin Yi's figure was somewhat blurred amidst the screen of hair.

And then it became distinct again. He stood up and looked around. Su Lingshu pursed her lips, bowing her head slightly. Her purple bangs cast a slight shadow, obscuring her somewhat nervous eyes.

And when Li Tiaodeng's voice, which was sometimes gentle and sometimes alluring, rang out, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then… she fell back into anxiety.

Su Lingshu watched Lin Yi and Li Tiaodeng out of the corner of her eye; their slightest movements made her somewhat flustered.

As for what lay beneath the panic… it was excitement.

Chapter 92: Arrogant disciples need to be dealt with a heavy hand!

Xuanyuan Xier looked at Su Lingshu curiously, and after a moment of thought, she understood her mindset. She shook her head with a chuckle; at most, she would just be lying down for a day, which shouldn't be a big deal for her, right?

One of Li Tiaodeng's eyes was ink-black, and the other was crimson-red. Denger was occupying this body, while Li Tiaodeng, as the secondary consciousness, was enjoying the special sensations transmitted to her by Denger.

Denger didn't wait for Lin Yi to make a move; she took the initiative and kissed him. Her face was full of excitement, a complete extreme compared to the somewhat reticent Li Tiaodeng.

She sat on Lin Yi's lap without a shred of shame, "Master, Master… hehehehe… my Master…"

Among the Fairies Lin Yi had experienced, Denger was the noisiest. It was as if she didn't just want to express her love for Lin Yi through actions, but also wanted to use words to display her sincere love.

Denger shook her head and swayed, "I really want to have a child for Master… no no no no… how is one enough!! I want to have many!!"

"Hehehehe… it would be best if they are all… at that time, let Master enjoy it too…"

Lin Yi hurriedly covered Denger's little mouth. If he let her say what was coming next, then… he would probably be looked at with strange gazes by Pei Yuhan and the others.

(At that point, this book would be finished too.)

"Wuwuwuwu… ha…" After finally breaking free from Lin Yi's restraint, Denger chuckled and took the initiative to kiss Lin Yi, "Is Master shy? Hehehehe… I can feel it…"

Denger blinked at Lin Yi, "Master… although you won't let Denger say it, but…"

Lin Yi's face darkened, and with a flip, he picked up Denger, who would go climbing the roof and tearing off tiles if she wasn't beaten for three days.

Denger was forced to hold onto the armrests of the wooden chair with both hands. She licked her lips, then turned her head back to look at Lin Yi provocatively, "Ah, Master, Denger knows she was wrong…"

Although she said with her mouth that she knew she was wrong, Denger had the complete look of someone who would dare to do it again next time!

Such an arrogant disciple needs to be dealt with a heavy hand!

"Then… Master must reward Denger for knowing her mistakes and correcting them." Lin Yi looked with a smile at Denger, who had already tilted her head back to look at the ceiling. As everyone knows, the weapon of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons.

This time, Denger was unable to say those words.

Just…

"Ah!! Master… I revere you!!!"

"Lin Yi, love you, love you, love you… Denger loves you…"

"Hehehehe… Master's love… Denger is about to be drowned by Master's love…"

Words like these emerged one after another.

By the time Denger was forced to switch to Li Tiaodeng, she was still muttering things about liking and loving.

Xuanyuan Xier pursed her lips and chuckled softly; feeling Lin Yi's gaze upon her, she turned her head and gestured with her chin toward the head-bowed Su Lingshu.

Su Lingshu was still feeling apprehensive when a tall figure suddenly loomed over her downcast eyes.

Su Lingshu stiffly lifted her head, and seeing the smile on Lin Yi's lips, she gave a sheepish grin, "Husband… hehehe…"

Lin Yi's gaze swept over Su Lingshu's shapely figure beneath her black dress, her tied-up violet hair carrying a dreamy quality.

"Shu'er, why do you seem afraid to face me?" Lin Yi held Su Lingshu and sat down in her seat, the smile on his lips carrying a hint of malice.

Feeling the familiar presence behind her, Su Lingshu relaxed slightly, but then… her body stiffened once again.

Su Lingshu wore a tearful expression, "Husband… don't…"

Lin Yi hummed softly, "It seems my Shu'er needs to learn a bit about house rules, actually thinking of setting up your husband."

Before Su Lingshu could even make an excuse, she lost the courage to do so, reaching out toward Xuanyuan Xier in hopes that she might offer a helping hand.

Xuanyuan Xier stood up, smiling as she placed Su Lingshu's outstretched hand into Lin Yi's palm, causing Su Lingshu's body to go completely limp…

Xuanyuan Xier pursed her lips, her brow softened, "Husband, surely Sister Shu'er doesn't deserve such a heavy punishment."

Su Lingshu finally managed to recover her senses, nodding blankly.

Then… Xuanyuan Xier added, "It should be doubled instead."

Su Lingshu looked "despairingly" at the smiling Xuanyuan Xier, pointing a finger at her, but before she could speak, Lin Yi grabbed her outstretched hand.

Lin Yi bit Su Lingshu's earlobe, "Exactly, exactly, Xier's words are very much to my liking."

Xuanyuan Xier blinked at Su Lingshu, looking as if she were saying, "No need to thank me."

Pei Yuhan opened her eyes slightly to glance at Su Lingshu; Su Lingshu was enjoying it anyway, and if Lin Yi were to let her go now, she might even be reluctant…

Pei Yuhan shook her head slightly.

And when Xuanyuan Xier took Lin Yi's arm, she leaned in and left a kiss on his chest; without needing Lin Yi to make a move, she took the initiative to serve him…

As a royal woman, Xuanyuan Xier naturally didn't need to learn the things that only women in brothels needed to learn, but… for Lin Yi's sake, she was willing to find those books, suppressing her shyness to commit those things to memory.

Xuanyuan Xier wrapped her arms around Lin Yi's neck, "Husband… Xier… cannot live without you…"

Xuanyuan Xier's emotions were not as outwardly expressive as Denger's, or rather, among the women by Lin Yi's side, only Pei Zhaoji could compare to Denger; no, even Pei Zhaoji could not compare to Xier.

The other women were all emotionally reserved.

Thus, at most, they would say things like, "You must not fail me," or "I cannot live without him."

Yet, even such words made one's heart restless; Lin Yi reached out to lift Xuanyuan Xier's smooth chin and kissed the corner of her lips.

"Mm." Lin Yi nodded in agreement.

"If anything, I cannot live without you all either." Lin Yi chuckled and embraced Xuanyuan Xier's slender waist; Xuanyuan Xier's nose twitched slightly as she bit Lin Yi's shoulder with her pearly teeth.

The Fairies nearby were all lost in thought; Lin Yi's sweet nothings to them were nothing special, but saying them at today's engagement ceremony, especially when their mental defenses were quite fragile…

Chapter 93: New Task: Daoist Fairy? Fairy Ningbo

The next day, Lin Yi received a transmission from Pei Zhaoji early on, saying that her Senior Sister Han Ningyan, also known as Fairy Ningbo, invited Lin Yi and his group to visit the Xuanmen Heavenly Sect.

Lin Yi had no objections, but there was one matter to attend to before heading to the Heavenly Sect.

He had previously discussed with the old Emperor Xuanyuan Yi not to alert the enemy, but to wait until the final falling out with Yin Yang to resolve it.

At most, they would secretly hunt down some Yin Yang Pavilion Cultivators; as for whether that Pavilion Master Ji Yitian of the Yin Yang Pavilion would have any objections… and what if he did?

It was merely a fox borrowing the tiger's might.

And when Xuanyuan Yi had someone deliver the two yin-yang orders and that ancient sword named sword this morning, the task regarding Lu Jiajing on Lin Yi's System panel popped up.

Lin Yi casually put away the yin-yang orders; with these two, he now had three yin-yang orders in his hand. Xuanyuan Yi's intent was clear: the Xuanyuan Dynasty had broken ties with the Yin Yang Pavilion, killed two Elders, and presented these yin-yang orders, so from now on, they were all in the same boat.

Lin Yi rubbed the hilt of the sword; with this sword, the North Mansion, the only one of the three great God King Palaces that had not been opened, could never be opened again.

Yin Yang's plan to use the North Mansion to bury Liu Li (Shao Shenyun) had completely failed.

Lin Yi looked at the strings of characters flowing across the System panel.

[Qingmu Palace Master (Stage 2) completed; rewards have been issued, please collect them.]

[Now initiating Qingmu Palace Master (Finale).]

[Qingmu Palace is a massive prison; hundreds of years ago, she moved inside, but now… she has walked back out.]

[The forces of the God King Palace are still eyeing her covetously, still attempting to drag her into the mire, but… there is no need to fear it now.]

[Lu Jiajing's suffering cannot happen to her again, but you… do you really not care? No, you care very much! You want to grind those scumbags into dust!! Let them watch their bodies be torn apart!!]

[Even… let them experience those filthy things themselves; you can do it, isn't the Dao the greatest tool at your disposal?]

[And Lu Jiajing's heart is already in your hands, Lin Yi; go soothe her loneliness, go crush those filth…]

[Qingmu Palace Master (Finale): Raze the Wood Demon race, kill the gray-robed demon.]

[Reward: Dao Transcendent.]

Lin Yi's gaze fell upon the reward; he didn't need a task, as this was something he wanted to do anyway. He was somewhat surprised that the task offered such a large gift.

Could it be that tasks of a finale nature always have such high rewards?

Lin Yi closed the System panel; he was currently sitting in a secret chamber, as the reward for the Qingmu Palace Master task was a bit too generous.

Although he had previously reached the Golden Core Late Stage, unfortunately, relying on the automatically running Great Sun Scripture in Chengtian City over the past few days had only resulted in a tiny bit of progress.

After all, the time was short, and even though he had run the Yin and Yang secret technique while being intimate with Lu Jiajing and the others, it had only slightly increased his cultivation speed.

Lin Yi closed his eyes and silently muttered to collect; a surge of abundant Spiritual Qi poured from the void into his limbs and bones, causing his Qi to quickly replenish.

Unlike the usual absorption of Spiritual Qi which required refinement, this surge of Spiritual Qi felt as if it had already been refined by him, and his body absorbed it eagerly.

He looked inward at his sword pill, which was his Golden Core; on the pure white, gold-inlaid Golden Core, a bit of Spiritual Qi was making up for the deficiencies within.

As it gradually approached that limit, the color of the Golden Core became more refined; with a faint hum, the moment the first crack appeared on the surface of the Golden Core, it instantly paused.

And as the increasingly abundant Spiritual Qi poured in, the Golden Core suddenly shattered; those fragments of Spiritual Qi suddenly scattered throughout Lin Yi's Dantian, but were immediately pulled by an inexplicable suction force and drawn toward the center of the Dantian!
